Senators snap Flyers' long unbeaten streak

OTTAWA Martin Havlat scored twice to help the Ottawa Senators end Philadelphia's 12-game unbeaten streak with a 4-1 victory over the NHL-leading Flyers on Monday night.

Philadelphia, 10-0-2 in November, remained a point ahead of Vancouver in the overall standings.

Havlat opened the scoring early in the second period, the first time the Senators have scored the first goal in a game since Nov. 3, and made it 2-0 late in the period with a power-play goal.

Flyers captain Keith Primeau scored a short-handed goal early in the third, but Anton Volchenkov restored Ottawa's two-goal lead midway through the period. Daniel Alfredsson added an empty-net goal for the Senators.

Penguins 4, Thrashers 3

PITTSBURGH Ramzi Abid scored on a two-on-one break with 3:43 remaining and Pittsburgh rallied twice to beat Atlanta before the Penguins' smallest home crowd in nearly eight years.

The turnout of 9,576 was the Penguins' worst since 7,170 braved a snowstorm Dec. 19, 1995, to watch them play Calgary.

Brian Holzinger, Dick Tarnstrom and Ryan Malone also scored for Pittsburgh. Ilya Kovalchuk scored his NHL-leading 18th goal for Atlanta, and J.P. Vigier and Marc Savard also had goals for the Thrashers.
